Based in the incredible but accessible Edale valley we will spend 4 days focussing on upskilling participants to fully prepare them for future adventures and expeditions. Our instructors will work with you to create lots of learning opportunities that stretch your comfort zone and grow your ability, whilst keeping you safe and having fun.
Our first day will be spent in the Edale Valley where we plan to stay on Night 1, allowing us to make the most of the local area for training and give us time to plan our expedition on that first evening. Day 2 will develop skills in the upper reaches and edges of the valley before camping at a campsite with facilities for expedition planning and chatting about the day’s progression and challenges. Day 3 and 4 will put your skills to the test under your instructor’s mentorship, through a practice expedition where you will be independently “proper camping” at a remote hillside farm putting all your expedition skills to the test.
